Man the Last of the Series.

John Burroughs in the Epoch. * -
There can be but little doubt that
the earth has at last reached the ma
turity of her powers. She is like ripe
apple upon the bough. Hsnceforth
it's exceIlenc must slowly decline. The
game OF life upon this planet has been
essentially played. That IS. no new
developments remain, no new species
on any attended scale, as in the past,
are to appear. The bird has been
evoibed from the reptile, but the bird
is doubtless the top Of that branch of
our tree Of life; no new form is ODE
evolved from the bird. We know
E.yetty well the descent O. of the horse:
he has arisen through various lower
and lesser forms. but probably moth
ing Is TO come after che horse. The
same with other forms. No higher
form IS to succeed man, as he has sue
ceeded the lower. Monkeys and o,l-
rangs are left behind; they will not
givesbiirth to 3 being superior tothem-
selves; they are twlgs that have been
outstripped by other and more favor
ed branches Man IS the last Or the
series.

n Coffin Story From Boston.

A year ago last April a. firm OF man
ufacturing undertakers in this vicinity
were given the most extraordinary
commission which they had ever re-
ceived. They were told to make two
mahogany baskets of a particular de-
sign to be above the usual size. and
in many parts fully six inches in thick
ness. They were cautioned not to
say a word to any one about what
they were doing. The caskets were
made as ordered. 1t required 500
worth OF mahogany to complete them.
When they were ready to be shipped
from the factory photograph was
taken, and an linking of the affair
got out in this way. They were taken
from the factory in two two horse
wagons each one making a heavy
load for q pair OF horses to draw.
Outside cases of the same material
were also provided> The owner of the
caskets had them taken to his estate
and placed in q building which he had
erected on purpose. In that building
two of the best wood carvers to
be obtained have worked on the cask-
cts steadily for the past II months,
ada they have noMhere near finished
the first one. They were carving into
the mahogany the most wonderful
and intricate designs which you could
imagine, all from sketches furnished
by eminent artists. There is a spider
in the centre OF a web, so delicate
that one q breath would almost seem
to move:it; skulls. from which Iife.l like
serpants are crawling; owls, hour
glasses and hundred other things
with symbolic meanings. At>the rate
the carvers are progressing it will take
several years to finish their work. I
should think $40. 600 would be low
figure for both caskets. The insides
VIII contain silken hammocks, in
which the bodies will lie. The gentle
man who is having the caskets made
has purchaced> an entire knoll in one
of the most beautiful of our ceme-
teries, and, it is said, will spend $685.
600 on the tomb. He is gentleman
connected with the medical profession,
having an Office in Boston. His wife,
who takes, if possible, more interest
in the caskets then himself, is said to
be the grand slaughter of q baron

ALErTER.

". J. Henderson, in New York Tribune.
Only an oid-time letter; ~ /
But from each faded line
There breathes a tender passion
That once was only mine.
Only an :old-time letter.; -'
= But from each yellow page
There comes d woe OF long ago
The ghost OF sweeter age.
Only an old-time letter,
Dark with the stain of years;
But oft that withered writing
Has bioomed beneath my tears,
But oh! that dream j. shattered
The fount of grief run dry;
To-day the sad mbrance
Wakes but passing sigh.
Yes, the page is old and yellow;
And the moss Is on thy grave.
Where the pale moon nightly silvers
The shadows OF wind blown wave
Where the long and silent river
Ends in the moaning sea,
As thy sweet life is vanished
Into eternity.
